I Weep for Sokoto East

 I Weep for Sokoto East

For a decade they endured

Merciless onslaught

By heartless killers

Their maidens deflowered 

The children orphaned

Young men butchered

Turned into human barbacue

Their once fertile lands..

Confiscated and turned barren

The free fields they proudly own

Turned to wastelands

Their animals rustled and burnt

The schools turned to orphanages

Majority resolute and derelict

Their women widowed

Orphans adorn the place

Blood flowing everywhere

From the blessed veins

Of these hapless defeated

Disorganized, brutally 

Words fail me my dear

Graveyard silence permeate

Everywhere!

We crave an end to this butchery 

Debauchery and bloodletting

Sokoto East I pray

Peace returns

Peace reigns perpetually

May Allah annihilate them

Who caused this misfortune

From arms suppliers

Informers of cruelty

To actual sponsors

Whatever be their motives

May it consume them all!

Let peace returns

So that we smile again

Sokoto East sends an SOS

Hey Rube

The world should know

They never hurt a fly

Now their blood, properties

Dignity and families

Cheaper than Air!
